New Office

I can finally share with you all what we've done to the office upstairs! It's taken a while, and there are still some small things that need to be taken care of, but the bulk of the work is done!

Before...

After!

I furnished the room mostly with the furniture we already had, but I got a new chair and a ton of accessories from IKEA, including a bright floor cushion for when Inga joins me. The art is a mixture of pieces I've made, souvenirs (like the DC metro picture above my desk and the grammar poster from Ireland), and family pictures (that's my grandma rocking the hula outfit). I also finally found a place for the print of my grandpa's ship from WWII.

I love having a quite, organized space to do school work and studying!

It looks really amazing, Holly! You did a wonderful job! I especially love the chair, and your diy art: I'm still swooning over that painted book page. If you ever decide to set up an Etsy shop, I'll be your first client :)

WHAT I'M READING

I started this blog as a way for friends and family to keep in touch while I traveled abroad. Now, I hope it gives you ideas to try for crafts, food, home, and garden. I love to dabble, and I try not to buy when I can DIY!
